∙ 14y agoNo, the statement is incorrect. The sum of two vectors of equal magnitude will not equal the magnitude of either vector. The sum of two vectors of equal magnitude will result in a new vector that is larger than the original vectors due to vector addition. The magnitude of the difference between the two vectors will be smaller than the magnitude of either vector.
Yes, the magnitude of the difference between two vectors can be greater than the magnitude of either vector. This can occur when the vectors are in opposite directions or have different magnitudes such that the resulting difference vector is longer than either of the original vectors.
When two vectors are in opposite directions, their resultant is the difference between their magnitudes, with the direction of the larger vector. This means the resultant vector points in the direction of the larger vector and its magnitude is the difference between the magnitudes of the two vectors.
No, the sum of two vectors cannot be equal to either of the vectors. Adding two vectors results in a new vector, with a magnitude and direction that is determined by the individual vectors being added.
When two vectors with different magnitudes and opposite directions are added :-- The magnitude of the sum is the difference in the magnitudes of the two vectors.-- The direction of the sum is the direction of the larger of the two vectors.
Direction. A scalar has only magnitude, while a vector has both magnitude and direction.

yes
If the directions of two vectors with equal magnitudes differ by 120 degrees, then the magnitude of their sum is equal to the magnitude of either vector.
Yes. As an extreme example, if you add two vectors of the same magnitude, which point in the opposite direction, you get a vector of magnitude zero as a result.
When two vectors are in opposite directions, their resultant is the difference between their magnitudes, with the direction of the larger vector. This means the resultant vector points in the direction of the larger vector and its magnitude is the difference between the magnitudes of the two vectors.

Scalars are quantities that have magnitude only; they are independent of direction. Vectors have both magnitude and direction. vectors need bold letters to show them.
A vector has both magnitude (the size or length of the vector) and direction. These two characteristics define a vector and differentiate it from a scalar, which only has magnitude.
